Chapter 72 The Hand of God
In other circumstances, Li Yi might really have no way to deal with it.
After all, I am just a practitioner of traditional Chinese medicine, not a deity.
However, he was still 100% confident that the dystocia was caused by malposition of the fetus.
"Dr. Liu, I can use massage techniques to help the fetus in this pregnant woman's womb adjust to the normal position, and then use acupuncture on the Sanyinjiao and Hegu acupoints to stimulate the flow of Qi and blood, thereby promoting intrauterine activity..."
Seeing that the doctor surnamed Liu did not believe him, Li Yi quickly explained the treatment method in detail.
Unfortunately, the other party still ignored them.
He didn't even glance at Li Yi.
"Xiao Hui, what are you standing there for? Hurry up and give her the oxytocin."
"oh!"
Upon hearing Dr. Liu's instructions, Nurse Xiaohui immediately took out an injection of oxytocin.
Seeing this, Li Yi frowned. He was about to speak again when he was stopped by the driver, Mr. Hu.
The other person lowered their voice and advised, "Alright, young man, don't make things worse."
"Master, I really have a way to help this pregnant woman give birth to her child."
"Hey, you're getting cocky, aren't you? Get out of here."
Master Hu clearly didn't believe it either. How could Li Yi, a mere traditional Chinese medicine practitioner, and so young, possibly help a woman in difficult labor give birth?
Seeing that Li Yi was still going to pester him, he simply blocked him outside the ambulance by moving his body sideways.
Although no one believed in him, life was at stake, and Li Yi could not simply leave.
However, at this moment, Nurse Xiaohui had already administered the second injection of oxytocin.
He could only stand helplessly outside the ambulance, keeping a close eye on the pregnant woman's condition.
Immediately afterwards, Dr. Liu said, "Come on, everyone lend a hand and let's adjust the pregnant woman to a breech position."
"OK."
The two stretcher bearers on the vehicle quickly followed Dr. Liu's instructions, lifted the unconscious pregnant woman, and then had her kneel face down with her chest against the bed, while raising her buttocks.
Dr. Liu then used both hands to massage the pregnant woman's abdomen.
Li Yi watched the other person's actions and his brows gradually furrowed.
The method itself is correct, but unfortunately, Dr. Liu's massage technique is far too poor to be effective.
Sure enough, as time passed, the pregnant woman still showed no signs of giving birth; instead, her breathing became even weaker.
"Little baby, come out quickly!"
Nurse Xiaohui was so anxious that tears were about to fall from her eyes.
Two more minutes passed.
Dr. Liu stopped what he was doing, his eyes darkened, and then he said to the two stretcher bearers, "Alright, put him down."
The two stretcher bearers were taken aback. "Dr. Liu, this..."
Dr. Liu shook his head and sighed deeply, "I've done my best!"
Upon seeing this, the others immediately understood what it meant, and then looked at the pregnant woman inside the car, their eyes filled with sympathy.
Just then, a voice rang out.
"Get out of the way!"
Seeing that the pregnant woman inside the car was in increasingly critical condition, Li Yi could no longer hold back.
He pulled the driver, Mr. Hu, away from him and then jumped into the ambulance.
The driver never expected that Li Yi was not only so bold, but also incredibly strong.
He stumbled and almost fell to the ground.
"Damn it! Are you crazy? Get down here right now!"
Li Yi completely ignored the voices behind him, walked straight to the pregnant woman, and said to Dr. Liu, "The patient can't hold on much longer, let me take over!"
The rescue attempt failed, and Dr. Liu was already seething with anger. When he saw Li Yi acting recklessly and rushing into the ambulance, he became furious.
"Hmph! You really think you're something special just because you've studied traditional Chinese medicine for a few days, daring to meddle in everything?"
Li Yi shook his head. "I don't think I'm anything special; I just want to save people. Since you don't have any other options right now, you might as well let me try."
Upon hearing this, nurse Xiaohui couldn't help but glare at Li Yi fiercely. "What are you trying? This is a matter of life and death! You're an outsider; who will be responsible if something goes wrong?"
"I'll take responsibility!"
Li Yi looked at Dr. Liu with unwavering determination and a resolute attitude, "It's precisely because a life is at stake that I have to try! The patient still has a glimmer of hope; she herself is persevering. As a doctor, how can I just give up so easily?"
What does it mean to give up easily?
I had already tried every possible method, but it was all ineffective, which is why I gave up.
Dr. Liu's face darkened. "Fine! I'll see if your skills match your boasts today."
"Dr. Liu, this is not in accordance with regulations..."
"It's okay, he wants to take responsibility, let him try!"
In any case, given the current situation, there is no possibility of saving this pregnant woman.
It's no use who comes.
Since the outcome was already decided, Dr. Liu no longer cared about any rules.
Upon hearing this, Nurse Xiaohui hesitated for a moment, but finally slowly stepped back a few paces to make room for her.
Upon seeing this, Li Yi quickly walked over to the pregnant woman, squatted down, and carefully examined her condition.
"Luckily, we made it in time."
After checking on the pregnant woman, Li Yi finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Then, he quickly adjusted the pregnant woman to a side-lying position and began to massage her abdomen.
When Dr. Liu saw Li Yi's actions, he felt a sense of disdain.
If my massage had been effective, I would have delivered the baby long ago.
The nurse Xiao Hui, the two stretcher bearers, and the driver Mr. Hu, who had just boarded the vehicle, all lost hope after seeing Li Yi receiving a massage as well.
Li Yi ignored their thoughts and kept circling his hands on the pregnant woman's belly, pushing, picking, rolling, and twisting it back and forth.
It looks just like practicing Tai Chi.
A few minutes later, he stopped and looked up at the nurse Xiaohui beside him.
"Could I please have a needle?"
Upon hearing this, Xiao Hui immediately looked at Dr. Liu with a questioning gaze.
"Give it to him!"
Upon hearing Dr. Liu's words, Xiao Hui took out a syringe containing oxytocin from the side.
After receiving it, Li Yi immediately inserted the needle into the pregnant woman's Hegu acupoint.
First, perform shallow needling of the Heavenly region using the twisting and tonifying method, then gradually penetrate deeper into the Human region, and finally the Earthly region.
This technique is called "Burning the Volcano," which is the exact opposite of the previous "Cooling Down to the Sky" method.
After needling the Hegu acupoint, Li Yi began to insert needles into the Sanyinjiao acupoint.
As an experienced obstetrician and gynecologist, Dr. Liu had never personally witnessed acupuncture techniques in traditional Chinese medicine, but he had heard of them.
At this moment, Li Yi actually used an ordinary needle as a filiform needle to perform acupuncture techniques.
Isn't this ridiculous?
Dr. Liu's eyelids twitched as he watched. He was about to speak when he suddenly heard a painful groan.
"ah--"
The pregnant woman, who had been unconscious, suddenly opened her eyes.
"Doctor...save...my child..."
Seeing that the other person had woken up, Li Yi breathed a sigh of relief. "Don't worry, the baby's position has been corrected now. You just need to take a deep breath and push a little harder, and you'll be able to give birth smoothly."
The pregnant woman glanced at Li Yi, who was so young and not even wearing a white coat, that he didn't look like a doctor at all.
However, she didn't have time to thank him now, she just nodded, took a deep breath, and used all her strength.
"ah--"
"Take another deep breath, the baby will be out soon."
Li Yi comforted the pregnant woman while teaching her how to adjust her breathing.
Meanwhile, Dr. Liu and the others stood there, stunned, unable to understand how the pregnant woman, who was clearly on the verge of suffocation, had suddenly woken up.
next moment.
A loud cry finally rang out inside the ambulance.
"Wow--"
